Hey all,

When do you think it will be safe for me to start pruning back my Shrubs that are classified as "prune in early Spring". Is this weekend too early?

I've noticed that a few of my Shrubs are starting to bud - it's probably due to some of the warm weather.

If it helps, I'm in Guildford, Surrey.

Cheers,
Nick

Traditionally spring doesn't start until 21st March, but I believe the Met Office classes 1st March as the 1st day of spring.

Personally, I find it easier to prune before you get too much new growth, but I don't worry too much about the exact timing.

Would you say that this weekend is too early?

How long is a piece of string ? :~))

Gut feeling works for me - I've pruned a few things already....
